The Fund aims to achieve a total return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income, which reflects the return of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index Global Diversified, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index).
Provides investors with passive, low-cost exposure to the USD-denominated emerging market sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt market. Tracks the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global Diversified, which includes over 1,000 individual bond holdings. Focuses on hard-currency fixed income securities issued by more than 70 emerging market nations.
Managed the BlackRock EMEA Indexed Fixed Income team. Employs a highly systematic, team-based approach to ensure portfolio construction remains independent of any single manager and mitigates operational risk.
Aims to deliver a total return that closely corresponds to the performance of the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index. Designed to minimize tracking error relative to the benchmark through disciplined liquidity management and optimized sampling techniques. Targets a consistent risk-return profile that captures the structural yield and credit spreads of the emerging market sovereign asset class over a full market cycle.
Utilizes a stratified sampling methodology to replicate index risk factors, such as duration and credit quality, without requiring full replication of illiquid securities. Adheres to a diversification framework that caps individual country weights at 10% to prevent excessive concentration in any single issuer. Leverages the Aladdin risk management platform for real-time monitoring of security-level exposures and stress testing against interest rate and FX volatility.
Access to clean retail share class with no trailer fees to achieve the lowest possible fees.
It serves as a cost-effective satellite allocation for investors seeking to capture the higher yield potential of USD emerging market debt. It acts as a transparent building block for a diversified portfolio, offering exposure to diverse issuers ranging from sub-Saharan Africa to the Persian Gulf. Investors should note that the fund is typically unhedged against the SGD, making it subject to currency fluctuations between the Singapore Dollar and the underlying USD assets.
